Worldview: The Missing Dimension Of Evangelism In Post-Communist Society, Sergei Golovin
Worldview: The Missing Dimension Of Evangelism In Post-Communist Society, Sergei Golovin
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
For a while Christians considered the Soviet Union to be a great potential mission field; nevertheless when the door for missions opened wide, it happened unexpectedly. Despite thousands of missionaries and millions of dollars invested immediately in spreading the gospel in the post-communist world, after a short-term tide, church growth declined back to pre-perestroika level. The research made during that period demonstrated that the so-called awakening had nothing to do with the biblical concept of repentance (i.e. a radical change of a person’s worldview). An explanatory model of the worldview transformation dynamics in post-communist society is developed as an attempt …

Slovak Churches And Education After The Fall Of Communism, Dana Hanesova
Slovak Churches And Education After The Fall Of Communism, Dana Hanesova
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
The author of the study focuses on the complexity of the education provided by churches in Slovakia. At first, she analyses the most important factors that have been influencing the present situation in this area (the historical, legal and educational background as well as the religious structure of the population). Then she presents the main residuals from the past that need to be sorted out with the help of the churches, including the progressive education of the younger generation. Some statistical information about church schools in Slovakia is provided. Special attention is paid to the evangelical churches and their Department …
The Response Of The New Testament Church To Material Needs And Materialism, Pavel Hanes
The Response Of The New Testament Church To Material Needs And Materialism, Pavel Hanes
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
The New Testament church responded to materialism both in philosophical and ethical ways, stressing the spiritual side of poverty or wealth. The answer she was giving to this problem was based on the Old Testament approach to the poor who were not only poor in property but were also poor before the Lord (i.e. humble, godly and obedient). In modern times it is important to reiterate this message because the modern church tends to be preoccupied with the material side of the problem while the core of the problem is spiritual.
“Has not God chosen those who are poor in …

Tensions In Poland Over Ecumenical Dialogue, Krystyna Gorniak-Kocikowska
Tensions In Poland Over Ecumenical Dialogue, Krystyna Gorniak-Kocikowska
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
"If I would use the phrase, ‘the specter of secularization is haunting Poland right now,’ that would be probably a good description of the present mindset of great number of people in Poland. The presently existing tensions are not, I think, inter-religious or inter-church tensions. The inter-religious tensions are marginal due to the dominant position of the Roman Catholic Church on the national level.
The potentially tension-building problem is the issue of secularization. Because the Roman Catholic Church was very strong in Poland even in the times of Communism, secularization was not perceived then as a serious danger, unless people …

Desecularization Of Contemporary Serbian Society, Mirko Blagojevic
Desecularization Of Contemporary Serbian Society, Mirko Blagojevic
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
For the contemporary Serbian sociology of religion it is evident that the process of desecularization has been present on the social scene of Serbia in the last fifteen years. Sociologists have provided arguments for this claim based on data gathered in Serbia during this period. The religious changes in question have been empirically recorded in all aspects of attachment to religion (mainly Eastern Orthodoxy) and the church (Serbian Orthodox Church), that is, in aspects of religious identification, doctrinal beliefs and religious behavior. Certain political subjects and social scientists feel that social life in Serbia is getting increasingly religious, and that …

Navigating The Assessment Current: Developing An Information Literacy Assessment Program, Kimberley Wilcox
Navigating The Assessment Current: Developing An Information Literacy Assessment Program, Kimberley Wilcox
The Christian Librarian
This article begins with an introduction to the concepts and terminology frequently used in the literature of assessment, especially as it applies to the assessment of information literacy by academic librarians. The article then describes the benefits and drawbacks of various techniques used to assess information literacy, with the recommendation that a comprehensive assessment plan must include multiple forms of assessment to balance the drawbacks of individual techniques. After a discussion of information literacy efforts at Azusa Pacific University, the author offers advice to librarians just beginning the process of developing an information literacy assessment plan.

Christian Publishing: A Panel Discussion, Dennis Hillman, Mark Hunt, Jim Kinney, Jon Pott, Gregory A. Smith
Christian Publishing: A Panel Discussion, Dennis Hillman, Mark Hunt, Jim Kinney, Jon Pott, Gregory A. Smith
The Christian Librarian
The 2007 conference of the Association of Christian Librarians convened in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on the campus of Cornerstone University. Conference planners invited representatives of four prominent Christian publishers headquartered there (Baker, Eerdmans, Kregel, and Zondervan) to participate in a panel discussion on June 13. The panelists’ 65-minute exchange is transcribed here in slightly abbreviated form. At the beginning of the discussion, panelists were asked to reflect on general trends in the Christian publishing industry. This led naturally to a lengthy conversation about the publishers’ involvement in the creation and licensing of ebooks and other digital products. Finally, panelists were …

Are Ethics Scriptural?: Comparing The Librarians’ Code Of Ethics With Scripture, Paula Gannaway
Are Ethics Scriptural?: Comparing The Librarians’ Code Of Ethics With Scripture, Paula Gannaway
The Christian Librarian
Most professionals define themselves by codes of ethics, core values or principles of conduct. The American Library Association code of ethics has existed since 1939. The current code focuses on service, authors’ rights and employment issues. Does the ALA code of ethics principles exemplify God-honoring values for ethical guidance? This paper compares selected scriptures to the principles of the code with examples from the field of librarianship.
Academic Libraries And Creation Science Resources, Tyler Veak Ph.D.
Academic Libraries And Creation Science Resources, Tyler Veak Ph.D.
The Christian Librarian
Although there is significant debate over whether or not to teach creationism alongside evolution in public schools, there has been little discussion on the role of libraries and librarians in this debate. In this article I argue that academic libraries in particular have a potentially vital role to play in that the majority of science-based research takes place in institutions of higher education; and that academic libraries have an obligation to provide empirically based creation science materials because the debate centers around science. I support my argument through a brief analysis of the institutions that subscribe to the Creation Research …

Collection Development In A Small Library, Carol Reid
Collection Development In A Small Library, Carol Reid
The Christian Librarian
“Libraries need to become fundamentally different institutions than they were twenty years ago.” So says Mark Sandler in his article, “Collection Development in the Day of Google” in the October, 2006 issue of Library Resources & Technical Services.1 Is your collection development policy up to date? Does it reflect user’s expectations? Does it provide for an expanded range of formats? Does it address funding issues?
As the small college library develops a collection that supports the curriculum of the college, the policy that governs that responsibility must be reflective of the community it serves. Overarching issues like information literacy and …
